Amazon Drops Mapping and BlockView and…

Gary at ResourceShelf let me know that Amazon’s A9 has dropped   mapping and other services this week.

The company “What’s New” page says little about why, just that the goodies are gone.

We have discontinued the A9 Instant Reward program, and the A9 Toolbar and personalized services such as history, bookmarks, and diary. To get help uninstalling your A9 Toolbar, visit toolbar.a9.com. We have also discontinued A9 Maps and the A9 Yellow Pages (including BlockViewTM).

Too much competition? Too little use? Too little return on investment? Or, do we just not use A9 as a search tool?
